I managed to get my lips to go blue,on the 6 minute walk test.

And the following day a repeat on the lung function test.

Is this normal.

Not sure whether you mean is it normal to have the blue lips, or is having the lung function test the next day normal, which i'd say is good follow-up.

The blue lips means you are cyanotic = your blood oxygen is very low - so no, not normal, and certainly not good for you. Presumably you had a pulse oximeter on your finger to measure the oxygen while doing the 6MWT? This would show what your oxygen levels are during exertion, and the lung function test will give a more general picture of how you function, including the level of obstruction in your lungs (FEV1).

Not what you're looking for?
